Title: Apparatus and method for channel estimation in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing cellular communication system using multiple transmit antennas
Inventor: SUH CHANG-HO
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2005-04-20
Granted: 2011-09-20
Abstract: An apparatus and method for channel estimation using preamble signals received from a serving Node B and neighboring Node Bs each having N (>1) transmit antennas in a UE having M (>1) receive antennas in a broadband wireless communication system. In the channel estimation apparatus, a Node B number decider calculates the maximum number N of channel-estimatable Node Bs using a preamble length, the number of antennas in each of the Node Bs, and the number of multiple paths. A multi-cell preamble matrix generator generates a multi-cell preamble matrix x by generating a Node B preamble matrix for each of the Node Bs and selecting N Node B preamble matrices according to reception power among the Node B preamble matrices. A channel estimator performs a channel estimation using x and signals received through the M antennas during a preamble receiving period.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention, therefore, provide improved systems and methods for tracking targets in a simulation environment. Merely by way of example, an exemplary embodiment provides a reflected laser target tracking system that tracks a target with a video camera and associated computational logic. In certain embodiments, a closed loop algorithm may be used to predict future positions of targets based on formulas derived from prior tracking points.  Hence, the target's next position may be predicted. In some cases, targets may be filtered and/or sorted based on predicted positions. In certain embodiments, equations (including without limitation, first order equations and second order equations) may be derived from one or more video frames. Such equations may also be applied to one or more successive frames of video received and/or produced by the system. In certain embodiments, these formulas also may be used to compute predicted positions for targets; this prediction may, in some cases, compensate for inherent delays in the processing pipeline.
